Dear Families, 

As a reminder, Monday November 18, is a 3 hour early release for students. Buses will arrive at 12:30 for dismissal. As a reminder, kindergarten students must be met by an adult at bus stops to avoid students returned back to school. 

Our 5th grade students are excitedly running for various positions on the student council association. The election takes place on Monday and we are looking forward to the council proposing fun and generous school community activities.

Lastly, I will be sharing disciplinary referral data with families monthly. We ask that you discuss this information with your child at home in partnership in supporting our expectation for a kind, respectful and safe school community. In October, the most common infractions dealt with students not showing respect towards adults or students and physical aggression towards peers. Often times, we see students "horseplaying" but inevidedably it quickly escalates to a unpleasant situation. Please remind your child regularly our school expectations; respect ourselves, respect our property and respect others. 

With appreciation,

Principal Vega and Assistant Principal Bermudez
